The Strokes played the biggest gig of their career in Argentina over the weekend – watch footage from the show below.

The New York City five-piece took to the stage in the country on Saturday (April 1) as the second-day headliners at Lollapalooza Argentina, which is held at the San Isidro Hippodrome (itself located in the Buenos Aires municipality). Metallica headlined the festival the previous night (March 31).

The crowd who witnessed The Strokes’ huge gig numbered over 90,000, a figure which made the performance the band’s biggest ever show. Bassist Nikolai Fraiture took to Instagram to announce the fact – see his post below.

Footage from the momentous gig – which saw The Strokes play three separate encores at the request of the audience – has now emerged online, with clips of the band playing ‘Reptilia’ and the final two encore songs (‘You Only Live Once’ and ‘Take It Or Leave It’) now available to watch.
